years and see what this and kindred

American money are going annually to
Mexico and Central America, and the
railroads and canals of those regions are
being constructed largely with capital

If this keeps on the time will surely come
when we will be called upon to interfere in

been well nigh two hundred years since
the first white settlements were made
within the borders of what is now Lancas-

a half since the erection of the county
itself, the establishment and location of
the seat of justice and the organization Of
this municipality. During this period there
has been witnessed the making of a great
people, the history of new political power
among the nations of the earth. When

OF living men Lancaster was the first in

the stages of our national growth and
development, this community has borne
conspicuous part, and that il yet embraces
population mere numerous than some
states; with imperial resources, as varied as
they are extensive, it can readily be seen
how important is an organized effort to
discover, collect, preserve and publish the
history, historical records and data - of
this city and county.
